What do I do if the charging cable is stuck in my Ford electric vehicle?

If it appears that the charging cable is stuck in your Ford electric vehicle at a DC Fast Charger, follow the steps below to remove the cord from your charging port.

Unplugging the Charging Cable

  1. Press the unlock button next to your vehicle's charging port to stop the charge session and unlock the cable.
    • The charge status indicator will change from blue to white when charging completes.
    • There will be an audible unlocking sound as the charge port unlocks.

      Note: If your vehicle continues to charge, or if the charge port does not unlock, press the vehicle unlock button on your key fob, Phone As A Key device (if equipped), or inside your vehicle. Then press the charge port unlock button again.
       
  2. If the cord is still coupled to your vehicle, hold down the button on the plug handle and push in towards the plug. You may hear an audible click.
  3. Firmly pull out the cord.

If the cord is still unable to be removed, visit the "DC Charging - Stop Charging" section of your Owner's Manual to review the manual release procedure specific to your vehicle.
